mistakenly released early. sometimes companies will release their earnings early if there is some rumors coming out so they released it based off of that or if they had really good news and wanted to provide it to the market earlier. something like this happening with the statement released earlier than it should, wall street hates surprises like that. >> wall street halted google trading. and stocks are down about 28 and change. new york federal appeals court has found the "defense of marriage act" unconstitutional making it the second in the nation. the 2-1 ruling finds the law violates equal protection. the "defense of marriage act" was first struck down by a federal appeals court in boston this year. the issue will probably go to the supreme court. president obama and mitt romney will be together again tonight but it will be nothing like tuesday's debate. both men are actually attending the alfred e. smith memorial foundation dinner which raises money for needy children.

of lung transplants dr. david weill says the stenzels regularly take time to meet and mentor other patients and that their weekly exercise class offers real medical benefits. >> the muscles actually atrophy and the only way to combat that is with regular exercise so the camp that the stenzel twins have built is perfect for what transplant recipients needs. >> reporter: it's what tiffany needed after five kidney transplants. >> it kind of counterbalances what the side effects of some of the medications are. so exercise really helps with that. >> reporter: equally important for patient anna modlin is the sense of community. >> we are all medical miracles here and it's inspiring to do this with friends who get what it's like to be living with a second chance. >> we love our camaraderie. we love this feeling of fitness. we honor our donors by exercising. >> so often i needed help and needed support, and now that i'm well, it feels really good to be able to serve others and contribute in some way. >> reporter: so for their service to the cystic fibrosis

and then some cooling as we head into tomorrow. and yes, there's a chance of some rain on the way. high pressure holding on for today but you already see this system beginning to dig into the back side of this ridge. makes for some much cooler weather on the way toward the next couple of days. computer models showing you nice and clear conditions through the rest of the afternoon but then late tonight, you see that southerly surge of low clouds and fog making its way onshore that's going to change the weather big time over the next few days. so enjoy this while we have it. nice in san jose today 85 degrees there, 79 and gorgeous in pacifica 81 in hayward. east bay temperatures up in the 80s. even some low 90s. inside the bay looking good. about 84 in oakland. about 80 holding in san francisco. and about 86 in petaluma. next couple of days, we are going to see some cooler weather partly cloudy skies over the weekend, and then a series of storms moves in as we head into monday, tuesday and wednesday of next week. looks like things could get a little wet. much cooler too so some big changes in the works. by the way, don't forget, a big

a concern to us. the wind conditions right now are a little lighter which is great compared to yesterday. the humidity is up which is a relief a little bit. but again, our concern is with the high heat. any fires that start could get into the fuels that are dried from a long summer. and it could create fire conditions. >> reporter: can you talk mibach to october 20th, 1991, that horrific day? >> as most people know the fire started on saturday. it was out and then on sunday, we were conducting overhaul operations to try and put the fire completely out. some of the embers got up into the very dry brush. it was extremely windy, extremely hot and the humidity levels were epic proportion. >> reporter: so we had a recipe for disaster because of the fire we had an electrical power failure that shut down five water stations, as well. what kind of lessons have we learned from this? >> well, the biggest lesson really is in prevention. the voters approved a wildfire protection assessment district which has been a huge help in prevention for us in creating a

defensible space and in being aware and developing plans for fires. >> reporter: that said, we could jump up and down every day and say protect your home and be aware like earthquake preparedness as well as fire preparedness. october 21, 1991, 21, the anniversary of the oakland fire. >> i remember watching it on tv from boston. my mom grew up in the hills so know those hills well. thank you, roberta. we'll be right back. 888 5 - he u. volunteers are there right now. a k >> if you have a consumer problem question, call our hot like, 1-888-5-helps-u. volunteers standing by right now. ,, thirty-eight. schools. trouble, we all should help out. under thirty-eight they do. more a year. bucks. money for schools. every school dollar must be... spent on student learning. student wins.
